= THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1895. OPPOSED TO DIVORCE, Decisive Action Taken by the Episcopal Deputies. CLASE WITH BISHOPS. Proposed Change in the Title Page of Prayer-Books Defeated. PLAN OF CHRISTIAN UNITY. Discussion of Dr. Huntington’s Scheme Cut Shortby an Adjournment. MINNEAPOLIS, M~ earnest desire to clear the ca possible dispatch was manif by the House of Deputies to-day. For the tenth time the house declined to obliterate the designation *Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States” from the rubrics of the church, the matter coming up this time on a motion from the Bishops to nge the title page of the prayer-book. The ‘‘Provincial system,” which had been made the special order of the day, was dis- posed of by refercnce to one of the three-year committees, and a similar fats overtook the perennial motion providing for the ac- ceptance by the general conference of ac- cession of parts of dioceses. The majority and minority reports to the amendment to the constitution making it lawful for Bishops of the church to take under their spiritual oversight congrega- tions of Christian people not heretofore in commu: with the church, or the plan of Christian unity, of which Dr. Hunting- ton of New York has for years been the earnest advocate, were taken up this after- noon, but the hour of adjournment ar- rived before the debate w: ell advanced. The House of Bishops decided to erect the present missionary jurisdiction of North- ern Texas into a diocese, which wiil prob- ably be known as the See of Dallas. To-morrow election of Bishops for the missionary jurisdiction of Kioto (Japan) and Alaska will take place. ‘When the House of Deputies reassembled this morning another attack upon the present title of the denomination immedi- ately made itself manifest in the presenta- tion of a report from the committee to con- sider the message from the House of Bishops recommenaing that the title page of the Book of Common Prayer be changed by the omission of the words “‘According to the use of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States of America,” and the substitution of the words ‘‘Ac- cording to American use.” There a minority report signed by J. Pierpont Morgan of New York, Messrs. Biddle and Blanchard of Philadelphia and Mr. Perkins of Kentucky, in which the proposed change was characterized as a virtual reopening of the subject of prayer- book revision, which has already been set- tled, and was therefore unwise and to be deprecated. A disposition to cut off de- bate on the issue was manifested by the delegates, and after Dr. Eaude of Minne- sota had characterized the proposal as one of bad faith and Dr. Groton of Rhode Island had spoken to the same effect, a vote by dioceses and orders was taken. It resulted: Clerical vote—Ayes 19, noes 30, divided 3. Lay vote—Aves 12, noes 30, di- vided 8. The house therefore again re- fused to change the title as designated in the prayer-book, and the formal resolu- tion of non-concurrence with the Bishops was adopted by a laage majority. Dean Hoffman, from the committee on constitution and canons, made a final re- port, containing the proposed canouns on marriage and divorce, and upon which the committee has been laboring ever since the assembling of the convention. The canons, which were received and placed on file, read as follows: No minister of this church shall solemn- ize the marriage of any person who has a divorced husband or wife still living, but this prohibition shall not be held to apply to the innocent party in a divorce, or to parties once divorced from each other seeking to be united again. If any minis- ter of this church knows or has reasonable cause to believe that a person has been married otherwise than asthe discipline of this church allows, he shall not minister Jholy baptism or the holy communion to such person without the written consent of the Bishop of the diocese; previded, how- ever, that no minister shall in any case re- fuse the sacraments to a penitent person in imminent danger of death.” This was concurred in by a vote of 196 to 59. The House of Bishops decided to read- just the boundaries of the missionary jurisdictions, and the Bishops of Spring- field, Central Pennsylvania and California were appointed a committee forthat pur- pose. . One of the most powerful of the speeches in favor of the provincial system was made at the morning session by Rev. Dr. Edward B. Spalding of California. He said that there were needs in different sections of the country to which the general conven- tion could not give attention. The peo- ple of California were greatly interested in the provincial question. There were needs on the Pacitic Coast which would take the people of New England ten years of in- tellectual acclimation to enable them to deal with intelligently. The provincial system was the last link of the episcopal tem and they should not allow the prejudices of the present to hinder the growth of the future. It was possible for what was called conservatism 10 prove inertia. Dr. Spalding toid of the 35,600 Chinamen flaunting their idolatrous worship in San Francisco, and then di- gressed to tell a story about a wealthy lay- man of a California church who was over- conservative. He objected to tbe singing of the hymn, “Lead, Kindly Ligint,” be- cause it was not in his hymnbook, and upon being informed that 1t had been sanctioned by the general convention, had declared that the appropriation for the hymn was unwarranted. He furthermore declared that if the hymn was sung again he would leave the church. *“Was it sung?"’ inquired a deputy, and the house broke into an. uncontrollable fit of laughter. When he was able to pro- ceed Dr. Spalding said: “The hymn was not sung. He wasa wealthy layman, and greatly interested in the church work.” Dr. Spalding went on to say_that the hymn was sung over the grave of the un- fortunate layman, and the deputies laughed louder than ever, Professor Barnard n Chicage. QHICAGO, IvL., Oct. 16.—Professor Bar- nard, the celebrated astronomer from the Lick Obervatory at_San Jose, Cal., arrived vesterday at the University of Chicago. When the new Yerkes Observatory at Lake Geneva is fihished he will take charge of it, but until that time his university work will consist of university extension lec- tures and the completion of arrangements for the publication of his astronomical photographs. STty LANDED ARMS IN CUBA. Minister de Lome in Communication With the State Department Regarding the Woochall. WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 16.—The steamer Woodhall, now at New Orleans, La., is the object of suspicion by the Span- ish Minister in this country, and he is in constant communication with the State Department on the matter. Mr. de Lome alleges that the Woodhall, which cleared from Baltimore for Progreso, Mexico, landed en route on Cuban soil arms and ammunition for tne insurgents. From Progreso the Woodhall proceeded to New | Orleans, where she has been for some time. The Collector at New Orleans has been instructed to furnish the Spanish author- ity at New Orleans with all the informa- tion he possesses regarding the move- ments of the Woodhall. The vessel is not under any restrain g STOLE CITY FUNDS. Deputy Cit W Treasurer Coulter of Omaha nted by the Police. OMAHA, Nepr., Oct. 16.—Assistant | County Attorney H. L. Day swore to a | complaint to-day charging Jerome K. | Coulter, Deputy City Treasurer under | Henry Bolln, with the embezziement of $2000 belonging to the city. The specific charge is that Coulter, as Deputy Treasurer, in October of last year, | while collecting and receiving public funds for safe keeping, appropriated to his own use $2000. A warrant was immediately issued and placed in the hands of the offi- cers for service. NEW ORLEANS, La., Oci. 16.—Gerard E. Coulter was arrested to-night by re- quest of the Chief of Police of Omaha. He is charged with the embezzlement of §$30,000 in that city. The prisoner was locked up to await the proper officers with papers from Omaha, BICYCLES FOR ARMY USE Military Wheelmen Discuss Plans at Their National Convention. Aims of the Association Strongly Indorsed by Commander-in- Chief Miles. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct, 16.—The first annual convention of the United States Military Wheelmen was held yesterday at the Broadway Central Hotel. The organi- zation was established for the purpose of uniting wheelmen who have a knowledge of military drill into bodies of such size as to test the practicability of moving large bodies of troops with the bicycle. It is also proposed that military wheelmen shall voluntarily, for the purpose, submit to a certain amount of discipline, so that their wheeling excursions shall largely be tours of experiment in utilizing the bicycle for military purposes. Captain McCrystal in his opening ad- dress said the purpose of the meeting was to consider whether the bicycle could not be put to some more practical use than merely that of scorching along the roads. “For several years past,” he said, “mili- tary men all over the world had been making tests with the wheel. In time of war the one need is the ability to trans- port troops and land them where they | could deal a heavy blow. This could be done more cheaply by bicycles than horses.” President McCrystal then introduced Major Giddings of the Connecticut N tional Guard. He said a company of mil tary wheelmen in his State formerly car- cried carbines on their backs, but the; were discarded at the end of a year's triaf and the men now carry only one Colt’s ry volver. Rifles he claimed were at a disac vantage on account of weight and trouble | in handling while dismounting. In the five years of use with the wheels many ex- periments have been made. Forced marches have been made in heavy march- ing order. The longest march was sixty miles, made in ten hours. Major Giddingsexplained how a wounded man was carried on a bicycle. He is laced on a blanket astride the wheel in ront of the saddle, and reclines in the arms of the rider. The question of the proper weight of a | military bicycle was considered. Major | Giddings said the wheel now in use by his | corps weighed twenty-nine pounds. The | wheels were to be heavier next year. In regard to the proper arms for bicyclists Major Giddings said that he considered the rifle too heavy, except for the signal corps, scouts or messengers. He believed the rifle could be carried on the right side of the wheel with success, and did not think they should be carried on the men. He did not favor having any weight on the rider at all, except his revolver. Sergeant Staubach said that the use of tne wheel was mainly for transportation, RESTING AT WOODLEY Mrs. Cleveland’s Health Is the Subject of Felicitation. PLANS FOR THE SEASON. She Will Live in Retirement Until Society Demands Her Presence. JOURNEY TO ATLANTA'S FAIR. The President’s Stay in the South- ern City WIill Likely Be Brief. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 16.—Friends of the President and Mrs. Cleveland have been prodigal of their congratulations upon the evidence of renewed health and | vigor their long summer sojourn bene- fited them with. It is likely that their | stay at Woodley until the cold | weather sets in will be, at least for| Mrs. Cleveland, another particularly quiet | sea. The trip will be made at such rapid rate and will be of such brief continuance that crowding so much in so little time would, they say, undoubtedly weary her, and now that she is established in the woods beyond the boundary of the capital she will hardly care to leave her country home until the duties of the social season call her forth in all her official prominence as the hostess at the White House. THE MY¥STIC BROTHERHOOD. New Secret Order Formea by Anti-Pro- hibitionists in Kansas. WICHITA, Kax., Oct. 16.—The Mystic Brotherhood is the name of a new secret order which originated 1n this city and is gaining a foothold in almost every city and town in the State. It has for its ob- ject the unification of all of the anti- prohibition forces. Its promoters hope through it to secure the resubmission of the probibitory law. The order has a ritual and candidates are initiated in regu- lation lodge style. The officers expect to enroll a membership of over 50,000 through- out the State, peivdiaias PROTECTION OF FORESTS. Enforcement of the Laws Demanded by the Builders’ Association. BALTIMORE, Mp., Oct. 16.—At the sec- ond day’s session of the National Associa- tion of Builders, a resolution was adopted calling upon Hon. Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior, to enforce all laws looking | to the protection of the public forests from wanton destruction; also urging upon the Governors of the several States the recom- | mendation of legislation in their annual messages looking to the preservation of the forests from destruction. & George Watson of Philadelphia, chair- man of the committee on the establish- THE PRESIDENT AS HE APPEARS SINCE HIS OUTING AT GRAY GABLES.

As for Mr. Cleveland himself, he is already buckling on his official armor for the labors of official life, and after his duty | visit to Atlanta will begin the preparation | of his annual message, seeking relief after the labors of each day are over in quiet retirement at the Woodley mansion and in the domestics enjoyment of home. Though invitation npon invitation has showered upon the President to visit hos- pitable Southern homes when he leaves ‘Washington again and after his visit to Atlanta and indulge his well-known pleas- ures of fishing and hunting to his heart’s content, it is not thought probable that | at present he will accept any of the | friendly tenders of Southern hospitalty, | though some of them may be made dur | ment of trade schools, made an extended report. Trade schools have now been es- tablished in New York and Philadelphia, and §400,000 has been given to the Univer- sity of California by J. C. Wilmerding to teach boys trades, and the Jeans estate of Philadelphia has given $100,000 to the Spring Garden Institute for the same pur- pose. l.l. G. McCarthy of Chicago said the opposition to the establishment of trade schools came from trade unions. He suggested that the best plan was for every emplover to establish his own trade school, as had been done in Chicago. UNIQUE MARINE BICYCLE. A Cigar-Shaped Craft With Pedals In- vented by a Genius at Seattle. SEATTLE, Wasn., Oct. 16.—A Seattle man has invented a marine bicycle, a novel and unique craft now on exhibition at Budlong’s boathouse. The strange device promises to be a success. It is about and would not figure in an engagement. For that reason he said the wheelmen should be provided with the same arms as foot-soldiers. The convention then de- cided to postpone the discussion and con- sider the constitution. General Miles was introduced and trongly indorsed the aims of the associa- tion. SIS AT T FOR BETTER MORALITY. Papers Read Before the Purity Cone gress at Baltimore. BALTIMORE, Mb., Oct. 16.—The morn- ing session of the Purity Congress was marked by a large attendance, and the speakers were received with great enthus- iasm. Mrs. J. H. Kellogg, M.D., of Battle Creek, read a paper on ‘‘Chastity and Health.” ‘“Alcohol and Chastity” was discussed by Dr. M. L. Holbrook. At the afternoon session ‘‘Causes of | Present-day Immorality and Suggestions as to Practical Remedies,” by B. 0. Flower, editor of the Arena of Boston, was read by Mrs. Pauline W. Holmes of Baltimore. Mr. Flower opposed the license system and said that 1t had been demonstrated to be a failure. He believed that the aboli- tion of drink would result in an uncon- ceivable diminution of immorality. He condemned the guilty silence ~called modeasty, which withheld knowledge from children instead of thoroughly instruct- ing them and warning them of the pitfalls and dangers ahead. . Mrs. Mary A. Livermore of Boston was introduced by President Powell as ‘‘the Queen of American literature.” She held the attention of the immense audience throughout her extemporaneous address in behalf of the protection of women. e Union Pacific Reorganization Plan. NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 16.—Certain features of the Union Pacific reorganiza- tion plan as reported to-day are as follows: An assessment of $I5 on the stock, for which preferred stock may be given. An issue of $100,000,000 4 per cent bonds for the firsts and the Government debt an issue of $75,000,000, preferrea stock. Bond- holders will get new bonds at par and five shares of preferred stock for each $1000 bond. The common stock will probably remain unchanged. MRS.

RETURN OF PROSPERITY Colorado’s Growth Illustrated by a Monster Pageant of Progress. PICTURESQUE FLOATS IN LINE. Memories of Early Days Recalled by the Exhibits of the Ploneers. DENVER, Coro., Oct. 16.—Colorado to- day celebrated the return of prosperous times by giving a street parade called the ‘‘Pageant of Progress,” the opening event of the three days’ Festival of Mountain and Plain. Twenty-five thousand visitors from over the State arrived during the night and early morning on special excursion trains. The railroads exhausted their pas- senger equipment, and had to use some boxcars to accommodate all who wanted to come to Denver. It was a delightfully warm Indian sum- merday. The route of the parade was a long one, and fully 100,000 people witnessed the display. Governor McIntire and his staff, accompanied by Brigadier-General Wheaton and staff of the Department of the Colorado, reviewed the pageant from a mammoth grand stand located on Broad- way, opposite to which a living flag com- posed of school children made a pictures- que sight. The pageant was designed to show the progress made by Colorado and was an historical review, beginning witn a float representing prehistoric cliff-dwellers and ending with a varade of school children carrying flowers, fruit and grain in sheaves. The most interesting portions of the pa- geant'were the bands ot Ute and Santa Clara Indians on horseback, all decked in their holiday attire of paint, feathers and beaded buckskin suits. They were in charge of Colonel Cooper, who has been recently elected a member of their tribe, and old Chief Savaro. A brass band from the Weller Tnstitute, a Government Indian school, with a float exhibiting the handi- work of that school, showed what progress the Indians have been making. Following the Indians were the members of the Colorado Pioneer Society in old Concord stagecoaches and canvas-topped wagons drawn by ox teams, mule teams and old horses. At the head of this divi- sion rode old Jim Baker, the oldest trapper and Indian scout now living, who crossed the plains in 1838 with a party sent out by the American Fur Company. In this divi- sion also were a number of gaudily attired Mexican riders from Southern Colorado headed by Senator Barela of Trinidad. Floats representing a pioneer gambling saloon, the first printing office in Denver, the first church, the finding of gold on Cherry Creek; floats showing mounted wild animals, and beautiful allegorical floats representing Colorado’s mineral re- sources, added to the picturesqueness of the parade. Cripple Creek contributed a number of magnificent floats. The agricultural and horticultural resources and the fruits of irrigation were represented appropriately, and the firms manufacturing Colorado ma- terials into useful products were out with admirably executed floats. There were twenty-five bands in the parade, including the famous Cowboy band, now located in Cripple Creek. After the parade had ended the floats were taken to the city park where they will remain as an outdoor State fair until the festival ends. In the park also are the camps of the Indians and the two regi- ments of the Colorado National Guards. To-night a trolley musicale was given, bands occupying ten brightly illuminated cars which moved slowly through the busi- ness streets and stopped at stations desig- nated by the festival committee to give open-air concerts to the crowds. The second day’s programme consists of a military parade in the morning, with the United States troops and cavalry from Fort Logan and the two regiments of the Colorado National Guards as the principal features, and will include all military and semi-military societies. In the afternoon prize drills occur at the park and exhibi- tion drills by the Unitea States troops. OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.

R e COAST MISSION WORK. San Francisco as the Depot of Supplies for the Far East. NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 16.—The annual meeting of the American Board of For- eign Missions began yesterday, President Richard S. Storrs presided. The Rev. Secretary Judson Smith reported on the Pacific coast generally, and Rev. Walter Frear more particularly in California. He said: “The Pacific coast agency is largely a business agency. San Francisco is the main depot of supplies for China. Japan and the East. In July plans and specifica- tions were prepared and a contract let for the building of a schooner to take the place of the lost Robert W. Logan.
